Flirting was in his nature, wasnât it?
Eudora could feel that her little heart was moved once again.
As expected, she would never be able to tease him and win.
â¦
The next day was a weekend.
When Eudora got up early in the morning and went downstairs, she was greeted with the sight of Amos and Juju gearing up.
Juju, especially, was in an amusing outfit. This girl had a sassy personality ever since she was a toddler. She had not been wearing such an adorable outfit ever since she was given the toy gun.
Eudora didnât expect her to wear it again.
Juju spoke when she saw Eudora staring at her.
âDaddy said that Grandpa likes cute little girls.â
Eudora looked at Amos gratefully, and Amos quickly turned his eyes to Juju, âDidnât you bring your favorite toy to play with Grandpa?â
Juju nodded and immediately opened her small backpack.
âDrawing block, building blocks, and my toy gun, they are all for Grandpa!â
Eudora was so moved that she said, âHoney, thatâs so sweet.â
She rushed over quickly and planted a firm kiss on Jujuâs round cheeks. Amos was waiting for his reward at the side.
In the end, he was left empty-handed as Eudora carried Juju out in her arms.
Amos was at a loss for words.
After a few steps, Eudora turned around and saw that Amos was still standing at the same spot. She spoke up in confusion, âLetâs go!â
Amos was dumbfounded!
Juju rolled her eyes and immediately said, âMommy, you forgot to thank Daddy too!â
Eudora was in disbelief.
âYour father is not that childish! Am I right, Amos?â
He nodded his head, âIn this matter, maybe I am really childish.â
Eudora was speechless.
She approached him and pecked him on the cheek. Then, she scurried away with a red face.
âCome on. Letâs go!â
Amos reached out to touch his cheek and his lips tugged upwards.
After sending the two of them to the George family, Amos got out of the car and took Jujuâs things out, âBe good and stay with Mommy. Iâll be waiting for you outside.â
Eudora was stunned, âArenât you coming in?â
Amos shook his head and waved at them.
âI might just scare him if I were to go inside. Itâs okay.â
Eudora frowned. However, she finally relented when she recalled Gordonâs reaction that day.
â¦
It seemed that Gordon was better today, but he still had trouble recognizing people. When Eudora and others went in, he was sitting alone in the garden, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Felicia was cleaning up at home. When she saw Eudora and Juju coming, she was taken aback for a split second.
But soon, she broke into a smile.
âEudora, youâre here, and this isâ¦â
âMy daughter!â Eudora said, âJuju, this is your Granny.â
When she said that, she meant it as a polite salutation for an old lady one would come across in the street.
Although Felicia had married into the family to take care of her, Eudora still couldnât respect her as a mother after all these years. She was clearer than anyone else about the âcareâ that Felicia provided for her.
Asking Juju to address her politely was the limit.
âHello, Granny!â Juju called out sweetly.
Felicia acknowledged them and asked them to come in. Eudora did not say anything and immediately took Juju to Gordon.
Gordon had good looks during his youth, so Eudora inherited the right genetics.
Therefore, Juju could already recognize Gordon without any introduction.
âGrandpa, I am here to see you!â
Juju said with a smile.
Gordon turned around and saw Juju with two ponytails and in a cute little skirt. His eyes lit up, and he seemed to be angered in an instant.
âEudora, are you back?â
Juju puckered her lips and said, âGrandpa, Iâm Juju. Eudora is my motherâ¦â
However, whenever his illness hit him, Gordon could only seem to remember the time when Eudora was still a child. He didnât want to listen to othersâ explanations at all and stubbornly insisted that the little girl in front of him was Eudora.
Juju understood what was going on, and she compromised helplessly.
âGrandpa, why donât we play a game?â
Gordon nodded and said, âOkay!â
They quickly took out the toys from her backpack and had a good time playing.
Eudora couldnât seem to join in the fun at all. She had come here initially to spend some time with Gordon, but now, she had become their patron!
Eudora stood there in a daze for a while. Then, Felicia brought them a fruit platter.
They were cleanly-rinsed cherries.
âHave some fruit!â Felicia said.
Eudora didnât want to eat at first, but when she turned around and saw that Amosâ car was still parked outside, she seemed to remember something all of a sudden. She then grabbed a few cherries and went out.
Amos was smoking. When he saw Eudora coming over, he quickly put out the cigarette and got out of the car.
âIs everything alright? Whereâs Juju?â
Eudora sighed helplessly as she explained the situation to Amos.
âJuju has become my substitute now, so Iâm not needed here,â After that, she took out the cherries from behind and dangled them in front of Amos.
âHave some!â
Amos was not used to eating such fruits, especially since they were red to the core. He declined, âYou can have them!â
âNo, I brought them out for you!â Eudora smiled as she took one and delivered it to his lips.
âItâs good!â
Amos couldnât resist her. As long as she was willing to coax him, he would probably swallow poison without hesitation.
Behind them, Kesha had also dropped by for a visit.
After Kesha went back yesterday, she told Steven that she wanted him to investigate the box that belonged to Gordon. However, Steven vented his anger on Kesha because his work at the construction site was not going smoothly.
Kesha felt very aggrieved, but he had already left before she could say a word.
Hence, she came back alone. As soon as she arrived at the door, she was welcomed with the sight of Eudora and Amos feeding each other intimately.
The two lovebirds, with glimmers of light in their eyes, looked very romantic even when they were just talking.
Kesha remembered that she and Steven were bound only through a pretentious harmony, and the surge of anger in her heart intensified.
She couldnât help but clench her palm and felt the video in her bag.
However, she soon came to a realization. Amos was a powerful man. She couldnât expose this video on her own. Otherwise, she would be in grave danger if Amos were to find out about it.
Hence, she kept the video away and pretended to walk to them as if nothing had happened.
âYou two are here too?â
Her sudden appearance had interrupted the warm atmosphere between Eudora and Amos.
